Almkerk, NL
In 1836, 411 members left the Reformed Church of Almkerk and Emmikhoven to found their own church community. The meetings took place in houses and barns. Under the name Christian Separated Church of Almkerk and Emmikhoven, the church community was recognized on November 28, 1840. The meeting place, the barn of Branderhorst on the Kil, was replaced by the barn of Jan den Dekker, at the top of the sidewalk of the Straatweg in Nieuwendijk. In the year 1860, the church barn made way for a church building on approximately the same location.

Renkum, NL
This reformed church on the Utrechtseweg in Renkum was put into use on 8 August 1928. The first stone had been laid the year before, on 2 December 1927. The building served as a replacement for a church from 1889 on the Molenweg. Design sketches date back to 1925 and were published as intended for a church in nearby Oosterbeek. It is likely that this is the same church. These sketches were much more daring and are much more in line with the expressive Amsterdam School than the final result. Due to war damage, the building is no longer original in all places and some additions have been made to the rear.
